Empowering Students to be Confident, Skilled Readers

For educators and parents dedicated to helping struggling readers, finding a proven program that builds foundational literacy skills can feel like discovering a hidden gem. One such gem is the Adaptive Multisensory Instruction program. Known for its innovative, multi-sensory approach, AMI is a transformative program that enables students to decode and comprehend text with confidence and accuracy. Let’s delve into what makes this program unique, and why it has earned its place as a trusted resource in the world of literacy education.

1. A Multi-Sensory Approach to Literacy

At Eardley Education, we focus on integrating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning pathways, making it particularly effective for students who struggle with traditional phonics-based methods. By engaging multiple senses simultaneously, the program helps create strong neural connections that support memory, fluency, and comprehension. This approach ensures that students of all learning styles can thrive.

2. Focus on Symbol Imagery

Central to the program is the development of symbol imagery—the ability to visualize letters and sounds in the mind’s eye. This skill is crucial for accurate word recognition, decoding, and spelling. Unlike programs that focus solely on rote memorization or phonics drills, Adaptive Multisensory Instruction helps students internalize the structure of language, fostering automaticity in reading and spelling.

3. Comprehensive Skill Building

With our multisensory instructional approach, we promote a wide spectrum of literacy skills, from phonemic awareness (recognizing and manipulating the sounds in words) to reading fluency. Key areas include:

• Decoding: Teaching students to break down words into their phonetic components.
• Orthographic Mapping: Helping learners visualize and remember the patterns of letters in words.
• Fluency and Comprehension: Building speed and accuracy in reading while ensuring understanding.

This comprehensive focus equips students not just to read but to enjoy reading—a life-changing difference for many.

4. Individualized Instruction

The AMI program is highly customizable, allowing educators to tailor instruction to each student’s unique needs. Whether a child is struggling with basic letter recognition or decoding multisyllabic words, our highly adaptable program meets them where they are and helps them progress step by step. This adaptability makes it ideal for classrooms, small group instruction, and one-on-one tutoring.

5. Proven Results

Research conducted by independent institutions has consistently demonstrated the program’s effectiveness in improving reading skills for students of all ages, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences. These results highlight the program’s ability to close gaps and boost confidence. In our utilization of the foundations of this program, we see long-lasting changes in our students' academic success. We plan for the long-term success of our students!

Conclusion

For anyone seeking a transformative reading solution, Adaptive Multisensory Instruction is a shining example of how effective instruction can unlock potential and change lives. Its multi-sensory, research-backed approach not only improves literacy skills but also instills confidence and a love for learning

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or tutor, incorporating Seeing Stars into your toolkit could be the key to helping your students achieve their reading goals. After all, every child deserves the chance to shine.
